The Ozone Razor is the race kite that pre-dates the Yakuza (GT). The progression was Razor, Yakuza, Yakuza GT.

Race kites (high aspect ratio), tend to be spendier that low/mid-aspect ratio kites. So unless the kites are in tatters that a smokin' deal for a full set of them. You can pick up line sets and handles elsewhere and still be way ahead of the game.

FWIW: Race kites prefer smooth, consistent wind.
